BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ---- The Samford University men's and women's tennis teams will host a viewing party for the NCAA Tennis Championships selection show Tuesday afternoon at Loco's Deli and Pub in the Wildwood Shopping Center. The Bulldogs will find out who their opponents will be, where they will play and if they will compete at the same venue.

The selection show will be televised by ESPN News at 1 pm. CT and will reveal all teams who have earned bids to the first round of the NCAA Championships.

The two squads earned the Ohio Valley Conference's automatic bids to the tournament two weeks ago when they both claimed the OVC Tennis Tournament Championships. The title was the first for the Bulldog men and the second in three years for the Samford women.
